Ingredients

• 1 block (about 14 oz) Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining the tofu and wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel to press out excess moisture. Allow it to sit wrapped for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, crumble the tofu until it resembles scrambled eggs.

Step 3

Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, black salt, and ground black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the seasoning.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened almond milk to the tofu mixture to enhance creaminess. Stir until fully combined.

Step 5

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, which will help achieve a crispy exterior.

Step 7

Once the skillet is hot, add the cornstarch slurry to the tofu mixture and blend quickly to prevent it from settling.

Step 8

Spoon portions of the tofu mixture into the skillet, shaping into egg-like rounds. Flatten slightly with the back of a spatula.

Step 9

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until it turns golden brown and slightly crispy, then carefully flip to cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.

Step 11

Serve these vegan huevos fritos with toast or your favorite breakfast sides.
